No, the bottom step is fine, all steps are 7". I was just wondering if I could move the TOP step (all 3 stringers) up an inch, making the last step to the landing a 6" rise instead of 7". ...or do they ALL have to be 7", period?

Thanks again everyone!

Kwickfish or Jiju---(or any one with stair code knowledge)--His bottom step is short---will the inspection fail because of that?

If he lived here in Tennessee it would fail, the difference here is a max of 1/4 or 5/16 inch, 3/8 inch difference and you tear the stairs out. I don't know why I didn't think about that when he moved his stringer down.
